00:22

MIDI file should ever be played the score is printed correctly but in the

00:32

should we choose to accept it identify the error..Thank You Mr. Gray

00:58

All right all done listening great now for our question where is the error in

01:03

measure 5 and here your potential answers all right there right there....

01:08

so the rhythms in measure 5 are accurate yeah we've got two quarter notes there [Musical notes in measure 5]

01:13

and we all know two quarter notes makes a 50 cent no..It might not be right

01:17

anyway we see two quarter notes and we heard two quarter notes that means that

both answers A and B are wrong because the excerpt is right wait so two wrongs [A and B with red crosses through both]

01:27

make a right this is life-changing people. We need to reevaluate

measure 4, well in measure 5 we hear it go up a half step to become an f-sharp

but in our correct score we see that the note should be another F natural since

01:59

that's not what we're hearing we know the answer is C now if you'll excuse us
